Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional printed educational materials incur significant distribution costs.
  • The integration of World-Wide Web (WWW) technology offers a potential alternative for educational material delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the direct and indirect costs of providing educational material in Respiratory Pathophysiology via WWW technology versus printed paper.
  • To evaluate the economic feasibility of electronic versus traditional distribution methods for educational content.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cost analysis of direct and indirect expenses.
  • Comparison of costs associated with World-Wide Web (WWW) distribution versus printed paper distribution.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Direct costs were $3678 for electronic and $3988 for printed materials (excluding original development).
  • Indirect distribution costs were $1430 for electronic and $1800 for printed materials.
  • Electronic distribution is more cost-effective, assuming an existing technology infrastructure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Electronic distribution of educational materials, particularly in Respiratory Pathophysiology, presents a more economical option than printed formats.
    • The cost-effectiveness of digital educational resources is enhanced by leveraging existing institutional technology infrastructure.
    • Further studies are planned to assess user satisfaction and usage patterns of electronic versus paper-based materials.
